Select the phrase that best describes the pronoun-antecedent agreement below. “half of the tigers at the zoo eat raw meat at its noontime meal.” correct as written incorrect because it doesn’t agree in number incorrect because it doesn’t agree in person incorrect because it doesn’t agree in gender

The statement given in the question is “Half of the tigers at the zoo eat raw meat at its noontime meal.”

The options are:

A) Correct as written

B) Incorrect because it doesn’t agree in number

C) Incorrect because it doesn’t agree in person

D) Incorrect because it doesn’t agree in gender

The pronoun here is "its". The pronoun usage here should refer to the tigers being talked about. "Its" indicates that the subject is singular and not plural. Whereas we know that "half of the tigers" are plural. Hence, the statement is incorrectly written as pronoun-antecedent doesn't agree in number.

Note that the gender of the tiger is unknown so usage of its is correct.

The correct answer is: B) Incorrect because it doesn’t agree in number
